Each day until World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, we are highlighting one or more wonderful members of our community (21 Days of Ability). Today we'd like you to meet Derek!

"Derek loves animals, especially elephants. He wants to be a zoo keeper when he grows up. In the meantime he is happy when visiting zoos in different cities and countries, going to the library to check out animal books, putting animal puzzles together, and building any animal or Star Wars Legos."
